Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1265: Surround and Kill Smiling San Sheng (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Li’s dream was not a small matter. He had to pay more attention to it.

He decided to go to the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

He did not know how long it would take to complete the sect mission.

He should take advantage of his free time to make a trip.

However, it was very easy to lose all his spirit stones there. He had to be careful.

After sending Xiao Li away, Jiang Hao disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was in the Shangguan Clan’s forbidden area.

He had observed the chats on the stone tablet. Gui was not here yet, so he might not encounter her.

Moreover, this time he needed to retrieve the sub-ring to prevent the ghost fairy from finding it.

Maybe he could give it to Shangguan Qingsu.

Jiang Hao took out the golden ring and hung it above the Blood Pool.

After that, he sent out a message and asked Shangguan Qingsu to retrieve it.

Then, he headed straight for the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

He was not in a hurry. He walked all the way there.

He knew the shortest route to the destination after all this time. He did not encounter anyone powerful on the way. It was relatively safe.

A day later, Jiang Hao was walking on the surface of the sea when he felt that the sea area was much quieter than before.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Then, a force rose from the front.

The storm surged and attacked indiscriminately.

Boundless immortal energy surged.

It was definitely not from an Immortal Human.

“Targeting me?” Jiang Hao frowned.

His Heavenly Blade appeared and slashed.

Crash!

The huge wave that covered the sky was split apart. It shattered with a loud bang. The waves cascaded down three thousand feet.

Jiang Hao’s face darkened.

He sensed five people, and five auras locked onto him.

An attack was imminent.

An immortal sword tore through the void like starlight shining through the night sky and left no place for anyone to hide.

Faced with such an attack, Jiang Hao counterattacked and slashed the Heavenly Blade toward the moon.

Boom!

The immortal sword and the Heavenly Blade collide.

With an explosion, the immortal sword shattered, and the Moon-Slaying sword’s intent slashed into the distance.

Boom!

There was another explosion. The sword’s intent hit a giant shield.

At that moment, the bald man holding the shield laughed heartily. “A True Immortal? Our gamble was right. Smiling San Sheng is no ordinary person. Hahaha… Heaven help us five brothers!”

At this moment, another attack appeared from behind.

A long spear shot out.

“Don’t be careless. He might escape.” A young man threw out another spear.

Its speed was unbelievable.

Even if he could reach the bald man, the other attacks would reach him in an instant.

Helpless, he could only turn around and slash at the spear.

Five auras, five True Immortals… None were weaker than him.

‘Why?’ Jiang Hao thought.

He had concealed himself properly. He did not think there had been any leaks.

“Escape?” he asked coldly. “Why would you think Smiling San Sheng would do such a thing?”

“Hahaha… Smiling San Sheng is reckless but not stupid. Why would he stay if he didn’t have a chance of winning?”

“Don’t indulge him! Don’t let him escape. I heard he just disappears into thin air.”

“There must be a time limit to that.” A middle-aged man threw a punch at Jiang Hao.

These people attacked continuously. They did not give him any time to react.

Jiang Hao had no choice but to continue on.

At that moment, he stood on the spot. Numerous attacks surrounded him.

It seemed that these people were only trying to delay. They did not launch a fatal attack.

They were waiting for someone.

Two figures appeared in the distance.

One was an old man with pale and messy hair, and the other was a young woman.

Everyone began attacking him.

His expression turned icy.

“Five True Immortals… The weakest seems to be in the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm. You all joined forces to annihilate me? You really think very highly of me. I’m flattered.”

The old man laughed. “You’re the first person since ancient times to attempt something impossible. How could we dare to act rashly? We’ve been watching you. We thought it would be difficult for you to reach the True Immortal Realm, but you did it so quickly. You are… problematic. It’s not normal that you could advance directly from the Return to Void Realm to the Immortal Human Realm in just a few decades. Although it might be possible that Smiling San Sheng isn’t just one person but a group of people, we’re willing to bet that you have something impressive on you. Even if we lose, there are benefits to be gained from the first through the ages.”

“The Great Era is about to arrive. Are you guys really willing to give up your opportunities?” Jiang Hao asked in a low voice.

“Reluctantly so, but it must be done. We tried once before but couldn’t reach the peak of the True Immortal Realm. We have many enemies. If we can’t make it, we’ll be killed. We had to find a way to survive. You are our hope. As expected, you don’t disappoint. To reach the True Immortal Realm in just a few decades from the Return to Void Realm… makes us excited to even think about it. If you really have a supreme treasure, we’ll take it. It’ll be fine if we don’t get the opportunities of the Great Era,” said the young woman. Her face was red with excitement.

“I see…” Jiang Hao lowered his head.

He had thought that Smiling San Sheng was so elusive that he would have the time to react even if he was caught.

Instead, he faced this.

“How did you find me?” he asked curiously.

“Even if we could capture you now, or kill you, we wouldn’t reveal our method.” The bald man laughed. “But you can take a guess.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao felt their attacks becoming stronger. They were launching a full assault.

“It seems Smiling San Sheng isn’t as smart as we thought. You seem clueless about your discovery. Hahaha…” The young woman laughed and mocked him.

It was as if she was trying hard to provoke Smiling San Sheng.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and looked at the young woman. Her aura was the weakest among all of them.

“Surround and kill him!” shouted the bald man.

At that moment, his entire body turned into a giant sword and attacked Jiang Hao.

He did not hold back. A terrifying aura tore through the sky and made the seawater foam.

Jiang Hao frowned at the terrifying attack.

He did not dare hesitate for even a moment.

The Heavenly Blade spun once, and a full moon appeared.

He then used the first form, Moon-Slaying.

Boom!

The blade collided with the giant sword. Before Jiang Hao could even try to break it apart, continuous attacks bombarded him from all sides.

A purple mist appeared on his other wrist.

It was a spell technique that he had preserved in advance. It was the Mountain Sea Seal.

Three mountains appeared and shielded Jiang Hao.

Boom! Boom!

Under the attacks of the five people, the Mountain Sea Seal shattered on the spot.

Then, it moved toward Jiang Hao.

Divine light surged from Jiang Hao’s body.

Nine Heavens Battle Armor!

Boom!

The Nine Heavens Battle Armor shattered.

The attack landed on Jiang Hao.

He was taken aback. He only had a moment to register it when he was sent flying backward.

He did not panic. Instead, he activated the second form of the Heavenly Blade, Mountain Suppression.

Thunder rumbled as the force of a thousand mountains pressed down on everything.

At that moment, Jiang Hao composed himself. Purple energy surged in his eyes, and the Heavenly Blade stood upright. He raised his left hand and traced it.

Purple energy ascended into the sky and three mountains appeared again.

The second form of the Heavenly Blade was activated once again.

At that moment, the three mountains replaced everything.

Mountain Sea Suppression!

The Heavenly Blade descended.

Boom!

The five attacked Mountain Sea Suppression together.

Boom! Boom!

Power clashed and shattered sea formations, spells, and mountains.

Boom!

A giant sword broke through the mountains and seas and headed straight for Jiang Hao.

The young woman laughed loudly from behind. “So strong… The stronger, the better! After today, you’re ours. Others won’t gamble, but we will. That’s our opportunity. Your treasure, your skills, your everything is ours now. It’ll serve us. It doesn’t matter if you’re the first person in history to attempt something impossible. You’ll die by our hands. You’ll just be a corpse. Hahahaha!”

Her excited laughter echoed in all directions.

Jiang Hao did not retreat. He swung his Heavenly Blade again.

He used the third form of Heavenly Blade, Meteor!

At that moment, he disappeared from where he was and began to attack the five people.

However, in the span of a breath, they disappeared and reappeared along with him. The attacks shook the surroundings, and seawater surged and evaporated.

When Jiang Hao reappeared, he was forced to retreat.

He was already injured, and his blood gushed out into the sea.

It evaporated like seawater.

Using the meteor’s trajectory, he appeared before the young woman and slashed his sword.

This move was the strongest of all his previous attacks. He imbued it with the power of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

Silent Moon-Slaying!

The young woman narrowed her eyes as she collided with the blade.

This blade ignored all her attacks and began to slash down.

It broke through her defense, tore open her protective robe, and pierced through her flesh.

Then, he slashed the blade upward again.

“Ahhhhh!”

She screamed.

Her arm was severed. The power began to suck life from her skin and turned it dry as ash.

He appraised her before she dropped dead.

He had to figure out how these people had found him.
